disableScriptTimeout function

disableScriptTimeout ()

Disables the script timeout. Normally, rules and functions are limited to 60 seconds of execution time to prevent misbehaving scripts from preventing normal operation of the MVCA server. Calling disableScriptTimeout will disable the timeout mechanism from prematurely terminating rule or function execution for the current rule or function.

Once the rule or user-invoked function finishes, the previous timeout is restored. disableScriptTimeout should only be called when it is known that a script may take a long time to execute, e.g. when a SecureHMC session is initializing and the session startup script is attempting to discover all the CPCs and LPARs.

Parameters:

This function does not take any parameters.

Returns:

True to indicate that the script timeout has been disabled.
